Hey All,

This is what I need to do:
(It has to do with form validation)

I first want to check that a variable is equal to the string: "CONFIRM CHECKED", if it is, continue the function, if not, display an alert message. Then I want it to check that two fields are not equal to each other: if dis_frm.egold.value == dis_frm.referrer.value...

This is what I have, but it's seriously wrong.

function checkIt(el){
var chkd=""
for(var i=0; i<el.length; i++)
if (el[i].type=="checkbox" && el[i].checked) chkd+=el[i].name;

if (chkd!="CONFIRM CHECKED"){
alert("Please check all boxes");
return;
}
if (dis_frm.egold.value == dis_frm.referrer.value){
alert("You cannot refer yourself");
return;
}
else
document.forms["dis_frm"].submit();
dis_frm.sub.value = "Loading...";
}
}

Hi,

I copied and pasted the code and run it in IE 5.5 and got an error in the Javascript (which I'm sure is what you were getting

). However, I added and changed the { } in the code it now appears to be OK.

Code:

function checkIt(el){ 
  var chkd="" 
  for(var i=0; i<el.length; i++) 
    if (el[i].type=="checkbox" && el[i].checked){ chkd+=el[i].name;} 

    if (chkd!="CONFIRM CHECKED"){ 
      alert("Please check all boxes"); 
      return; 
		} 
		if (dis_frm.egold.value == dis_frm.referrer.value){ 
			alert("You cannot refer yourself");
			return; 
		} else { 
		document.forms["dis_frm"].submit(); 
		dis_frm.sub.value = "Loading..."; 
   } 
}

Hope this what you were trying to do.
